Increasing demand for water, energy and food, due to population growth and urbanization, is aggravated by unprecedented extreme weather and climatic conditions. This situation is likely to undermine the sustainable and peaceful development of humanity. Today, more than ever, there is an imperative need to support the identification and development of practical solutions, where the use of a nexus approach can lead to improved outcomes in the integrated management of water–energy–food–ecosystem (WEFE) resources. This book disseminates the current knowledge of the modern approach of agrivoltaics, providing a comprehensive state of the art on the field, discussing the current status, the challenges and the future perspectives for their further development. This new currently in-depth unexplored topic will be covered thoroughly by the present book, which will attract the readership of both the scientific and industrial research communities, even of people who are dealing with cultivations, promoting the development in the field, from conceptual designs to practical realizations. 0aPhotovoltaic power generation. 0aRenewable energy sources. 0aAgriculture. 0aPower resources.14aPhotovoltaics.24aRenewable Energy.24aAgriculture.24aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.1 aStathatos, Elias.eauthor.0(orcid)0000-0002-7791-06491https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7791-06494aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303148860308iPrinted edition:z978303148862708iPrinted edition:z9783031488634 0aGreen Energy and Technology,x1865-353740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48861-0
